A modern authority on college football rankings said,"When Harvard met Yale at season's end, it was considered to be for the national championship, and if there had been an AP poll in 1901, Yale might well have finished #2. That is because they were considered to be the top program in college football."[2] Years later, Harvard was retrospectively selected as the national champion by Parke H. Davis,[3][4][5] a fact in conflict with an NCAA publication, which mentions Yale.[6]

Center Henry Holt was selected by Walter Camp as the first team center on the 1901 All-America team.[7] Other notable players on the 1901 Yale team included halfback George B. Chadwick, quarterback John de Saulles, end Joseph R. Swan, tackle James Hogan, and guard Herman Olcott.
